First Visit to Desire Pearl, February 2016

Prologue:

If you are hoping for some salacious tidbits, I'm afraid that we're not that interesting and sorry for the insanely long post. This was our first trip to a clothing optional, lifestyle-friendly resort. We are not naturists - with my freckled complexion, sun is my kryptonite. My wife made it clear that we are also not swingers. It was our 20th anniversary and I wanted to try a 'sexy' vacation as described by Cooper Beckett in his podcasts. My interest had been peaked by the comments that people are especially friendly at these resorts. We are true blue introverts. With previous normal resort visits, we would typically manage to get through the entire stay without talking to a single human being. To say that my wife had trepidations would be an understatement.

I figured this to be our first and only visit to such a resort, so I resolved to make the most of the ocassion. The first step was to join the Yahoo group set up for people visiting Desire Pearl in February 2016. This gave us a chance to get pre-acquainted with some of the others who would be at the resort during our short stay. I then went to great efforts to assemble costumes for the theme nights.

Day 1:

We arrived just after noon. One staff took us to one side and went over the features of the resort and associated rules. She was great and did not pressure us into buying memberships. It was fairly clear that we weren't sure about any future return to the resort so a membership would have been pointless. By the time that she finished, the room was ready. We could not believe that the room was considered a 'Junior', it was massive with nice decor. Even the nicer rooms at canadian hotels tend to be little more than closets. We could not imagine what the upgraded rooms would be like if this was the cheapest. It led out to a ground level pad with a double wide lounge chair. There was also a small table and a couple of chairs.

I had heard about Breathless photos and we tracked them down for an appointment. With all due respect to our wedding photographer, our wedding photos were crap and I felt that we needed something better. We have no pictures of just the two of us - everything is with the kids.

We watched a bit of kinky darts and my wife assured me that she would not be sitting on my face or humping me during a shot in front of an audience. After booking sushi for the next night and wandering around a bit, we went to the Pearl restaurant for dinner. The resort was not busy so reservations were not required. What was required, were closed toe shoes and nice clothes which I must have overlooked in the write up. The maitre d' set me straight back to my room for the proper attire. I had the escargot and a beef medallion entre, both of which were excellent. The attire of my fellow patrons was interesting - the guys would be in some completely plain outfit while their women would be wearing sheer dresses with plunging cleavage.

We briefly tried the hot tub. We were pathetic, standing there like a couple of wall flowers. On my way to get drinks from the swim-up bar, I thought I saw someone from the Yahoo group and asked but was mistaken so continued on to get my drinks. Later after leaving the tub, I reflected that I was rude as hell and they had been sitting by themselves. It was clear that I was not honouring the Desire culture and resolved to do better.

Theme night was Desire mansion so my wife sported a really short black skirt, plain black top, black cuffs, black tail, and a set of black bunny ears. To put my wife at ease, I also dressed up in black slacks, white cuffs, a bow tie, and no shirt. We're an older couple but have managed to stay in reasonable shape. Desire had a rock band proceed the disco event. I met the couple from earlier, and apologized for my terrible behaviour. C and M turned out to also be from Canada and they would go on to be our good friends through the rest of the trip. After dancing some, the disco opened so we went in for the main event, the Chippendale contest. My wife and all of the other bunnies were dragged up to be judges. She hates being the centre of attention, but was reassured by the bunny next to her. I'm not an exhibitionist but I also hate being a spectator. Already dressed as a Chippendale, I volunteered for one of the five contestent seats. Strangely enough, three of the five contestents would be Canadian. Can't say that I was any good and need to work on my choreography for any future such events. You really need to interact with the women. The winner even ground his hips into my wife's face which was a riot to see. What I did do right was wear a tuxedo thong under my dress slacks. Near the end, I undid my slacks, rolled on the floor before dropping my legs into the judges' laps and telling them to hold on. I then slid out backwards to reveal my theme thong to the surprise of everyone. Didn't come close to winning, but had fun nonetheless. Afterwards, a few women tapped me on the shoulder to say that they voted for me. It was hard to talk in the disco, but when we left, another lady congratulated me, and in keeping with the Desire culture, we introduced ourselves. M and K from New Jersey would become our best friends on the trip. Later, my wife and I hit the hot tub and met one of the couples from the Yahoo group, who were also Canadian and who we would regularly talk with. We stayed up until 1:30 am which is totally out of character for us. This was especially surprising considering that we had been on the go since 3 am. My wife was starting to relax - no one had accosted her, we had a fun time at the disco, and met three great couples. Now I just had to get her to drop her bottoms...

Day 2

During the morning, we both went for yoga. The instructor couldn't speak english, but it did not matter. Out on the pier, it was breezy but peaceful. Afterwards, we introduced ourselves to the other participants. At noon, we did the sexy aqua fitness. The gent drilled us mercilessly for half an hour with a series of evolving routines. Towards the end, he had us do some water games with everyone holding hands in a circle or racing as a conga line. That was some of the most fun of the trip. Two days later, we made sure not to miss those activities. That afternoon, walking the beach and seeing those monster tourist factory resorts nearby, it is now soul crushing to even consider ever booking the 'normal' type of vacation. Pearl was just the right size to meet people and establish connections. With those mega resorts, you could go for a week without seeing the same person twice. Before dinner, we hit the tub and chatted with our new friends. The sushi restaurant had only seven tables, but don't let that fool you - the food was top notch. We had trouble deciding, so the super nice waitress recommended a sampler that was not listed on the menu. It gave us a full assortment of sashimi and maki. We especially loved the smoked salmon.

Theme night was burlesque. She wore the same short black skirt and top, but I also had her wear a pink wig and boa. She wasn't certain about the wig, but I think that she looked cute. I improvised with a leopard thong and sarong. The disco was proceeded by Il Divo which is comprised of three tenors who were enjoyable to listen to. The disco event consisted of a series of choreographed dance routines by four sexily dressed women. We danced for a while and then went to the hot tub. Previously, my wife had refused to have sex on the jacuzzi beds. This time, we lowered the curtains and somehow, that made it okay for her - she is always surprising me. The sheerness of the curtains together with the billowing by the wind, really meant that our love making wasn't all that private. We would do it again, two nights later.



Day 3

We laid out our wardrobe in advance of the photography session. The woman came back by and picked out the 'tastiest'. Her male collegue followed later with the lighting and a second camera. I had a costume bow tie, dress slacks, and white shirt which they had me use in the session. We let them know that we wanted sexy but not sexual. Wow, it bordered on soft core porn. They had me lay down between her legs at one point, and the gent told me to give my wife a tweak to get some real expressions out of her face. She must have missed that message because she jumped a foot when I licked her. Her expression turned out pretty real in the pictures ;) We later took shots on the pier and the beach. The quality of the photos were excellent. I don't believe that we could have done the same photo session 20 years before when I first met my wife, and have her look any sexier.



In the afternoon, we watched a game called the human sundae with three couples, one of which was M and K. It is exactly as described. Later, we played pool volleyball. My wife had so much fun and greatly regrets missing out the earlier sessions and there were no others before we left. The entertainment staff did just that and did all that they could to make it not serious by spoiling shots and showing overt favourtism. This is a good thing in my books. People can get so uptight when the competition is real. The testosterone starts to fly and next thing you know, someone gets hurt, emotionally or physically. I accidentally nailed my wife at one point and the ref had me bend over the pool edge for well deserved spanking from my wife.

Up to this point, we had been eating by ourselves. After the game, out of character for me but in the Desire spirit, I invited M and K to dinner which they accepted. K arranged her favourite maitre d' who went all out to keep us happy. The conversation was free flowing and balanced. The food was delicious. My wife and I had such a enjoyable time with M and K.

Theme night was uniform. I had gone crazy with the costumes. Not so much sexy but weird. My wife wore the regalia of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - hat, scarlet shirt, black hose, and no skirt. I was her horse - ears, tail, reins, and yellow trimmed horse blanket. Saddle was back at the room if she want to ride me later ;) Hey, she wore bunny ears and tail not two days before - fair's fair! We were too slow to grab some back row seating, so over my wife's loud protests, I put us in the front row. I assured her that it was highly unlikely that there was going to be any audience participation. Little did I know. The disco entertainment was a man and woman stripper - he as a cop, she as a maid. Our costumes must have screamed 'pick me' because it started with the female stripper grabbing me by the reins and pulling me to the middle of the disco floor for her routine. My face went everywhere - I didn't know what to do - my wife was right there! Afterwards, the guy came out and grabbed the lady next us - home free. Not. That was just the appetizer, he grabbed my wife next and proceeded to hump her in the missionary position before in one amazing feat of strength, flip her up and drop her into the cowgirl position on his crotch. To this day, my wife claims no memories of the experience and that it happened so quick. I must admit, she looked cute in her scarlet blouse against his black straps and jock, with her long flowing hair whipping each way.



Day 4

Back to yoga in the morning. Enjoyed the aquafit at noon. Kia led the routines and showed us mercy - our arms did not fall off this time. Once more followed by the group activites where you come within inches of other people's naked bodies. Sensual and fun. Later in the hot tub, we met a really nice older couple, B and S, who invited us to dinner. The dinner conversation was great and truly this was one aspect of Desire that we really liked.

Theme night was masquerade. Pre-show was a band but not so many dancing as three nights before - the music wasn't quite right. The disco show was a lingerie fashion show - no audience participation. Afterwards, we experienced the only downside to the trip and were extremely fortunate that things were not worse. Some idiot hurled himself onto the dance floor and started swinging his arms wildly. I could forgive him stomping on my foot, but a moment later, he elbow smashed my wife in the face. A few millimetres lower and he would have knocked out her teeth. A few higher and he would have crushed her nose. I felt a pit in my stomach when I saw her head recoil from the impact. She took it like a trooper, but we came too close to disaster.

Conclusion

Sadly, we're back in the great white north. The trip was a success. My wife had major misgivings about the trip and wasn't sure that she would be able to speak to naked people. Coming home, there is a glint in her eye and talk of maybe future trips. The resort is beautiful, food is some of the tastiest that I have enjoyed, really fun entertainment, and the staff were wonderful. I don't know about this talk of mexican time - they were responsive and friendly.

Strangely, I found the place rather tame compared to some of the stories that I have read. True, we stayed out of the sin room, went to bed by 1:30 am, and much of the fun must have been happening behind closed doors. The hot tub was pretty PG - no body shots, people were generally drawing the curtains while on the Jacuzzi beds, and any liberties were quietly happening under the water out of sight. There was nothing to upset my wife, but also nothing to challenge her hangups.

For the most part, people seemed to know how to hold their liquor. Outside of that one incident and a woman stumbling into the middle of a show, we did not witness any alcohol abuse.

Reminder to everyone, please please please don't reserve the Jacuzzi beds with your stuff. It's real mood killer when you have to wait for an opening on the one bed that is turning over while five sit empty.

Guys, don't be afraid to get involved. Why does it seem to be mostly the women that dress up? It seemed to help with connections when we both got into the spirit of the place. By the way, at the disco, probably a good idea to have interesting underwear - you don't want to be wearing tighty whities when the female stripper pulls your shorts down ;)
Love, R & C

This is a great trip report. I love to read about newbie couples who slowly transition over to the dark side once they see how fun it is! It's very normal and natural to have big doubts, nerves, and anxiety leading up to your first trip. Once you get there, you see that everybody is perfectly normal and just looking to have some fun in the sun away from "real life" back at home. I'm glad you got involved, participated in theme nights, and gently stretched your boundaries. Congrats on a successful trip and a great trip report.
